Week of 16th of February

Happy Birthday to Shannon on the 19th.
Monday was a glorious day and we bundled up and took our walking sticks and walked through the Viking cemetery and over to the road to Jordbro. It was beautiful and the exercise way wonderful. Our legs get so tired of being bent that it is good to get some walking in.
We got a valentines package from Stacie with an ultra sound picture of our new little spirit coming in September. So excited for #15 to come to our family.
Our grandchildren (barnbarn) are growing so fast. Rowdey is now two months old and we are so grateful for Skype to be able to see him.
CJ is now as tall as or taller than Cortney and that is so hard for me to imagine. So happy with their successes in sports, school, talents, work, being responsible, positive attitudes and testimonies. Can you imagine how awesome they will be when we get home in 14 months!
We have had another group of saints from Norway this week. Some of them brought their children and the mom comes to the temple in the morning and the dad in the afternoon. I really admire their coming for a week and how excited and humble they are to attend the temple. The parents of our MYC tutor have been here for a few days. It was good to meet them.
The American sisters got brave and attended a get to know each other night at RS. It was fun and we spoke both English and Swedish. They ask me to give the closing prayer so I gave a very simple, but sincere, prayer in Swedish. I know I did not say everything right but they were appreciative of my efforts! Then they served a desert that was like a big cream puff with almond paste on the inside and you put it in a dish of warm milk to eat. It was really good. Kinda like bread and milk that Grandpa Nyman used to eat.
We have a new couple from Finland that is here serving for three months. I told them that our son-in-law had served in Finland and she wanted to know his name. When I replied Elder Zach Owen she said I think I remember that name. I took the family picture to the temple and she picked him out. Then when Zach sent the dates of where and when he served she remembered more. I will send a picture of them next week. Their name is Kämäräinen.
We had a couples Valentine Dinner together at the KROGEN Restaurang in Nynäshamn. We had a great seafood stew in the whole wheat bread bowl. The restaurant is located down on the harbor and we are looking forward to seeing what it looks like in the summer.
On Saturday it was so cold and so snowy that there were only a few temple workers that came. We did have all the sessions and did some baptisms. It was a great day.
We now have about 3 feet of snow. It is the worst winter in the past 20-30 years. The trains are stopped or way behind schedule (2 hours or more) because only one track has been open. It is very cold and windy, blowing the snow everywhere. Wondering if it will ever melt!
Our testimony and love of the temple is growing and we are so blessed to serve the Lord at the Temple in Stockholm. Thanks for your letters, packages, emails, skype time, support and prayers. We love you so much. Hejdå!
